Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has been jostled by angry protesters at a school in southern Sydney, forcing him to cut short plans to campaign at the polling booth.
The opposition leader was surrounded by people screaming “You’re not welcome Tony”, and “Go away Tony” at Arncliffe’s Athelstane Public School as an attempt to target the safe Labor seat of Barton backfired.
Mr Abbott could barely move in the crush, and after five minutes had to be ushered back into his car.
The protesters were a mix of Labor supporters, refugee advocates, and backers of independent candidate Michael Nagi.
